FCDRT Mission

Our mission is to end needless euthanasia at shelters in the National Capital area by rescuing and finding suitable lifetime homes for our cats, promoting spaying and neutering, and educating the public on responsible pet ownership.

FCDRT Vision Statement

We provide adoption, rescue and education services by finding suitable lifetime homes for our cats and dogs, rescuing cats and dogs on death row at local shelters and educating the public on responsible pet ownership. We aspire to offer in-house spay and neuter services. We live by our core values of integrity in all our dealings; compassion for all life; respect for our cats and dogs, our constituents and each other; and teamwork. We are responsive to our donors, adopters, volunteers and the public. Our volunteers and staff are recognized for their responsibility, dedication, knowledge and helpful service. We provide these services for cats and dogs that would otherwise be euthanized, potential adopters, donors, local animal shelters, and our community.
